富恩特斯創作中篇小說《奧拉》的意圖并非呈現純粹的神奇與夢幻意境,而是揭示虛幻面具掩飾下的現實。《奧拉》利用獨特的第二人稱單數敘述,成就了敘述主體和隱含作者的不確定性,從而構筑起多個潛藏文本。潛文本從不同的視角,引導讀者體驗激情、彷徨、焦慮、恐懼等人類基本情感;文本中巧妙嵌入的超現實元素富含象征性表達,折射出作者對身份和歷史等現實問題的思考,傳遞出作者對個人與集體揭開面具、正視自我、構建自我身份的期許之情。而在構建"被異化"的女性身份的同時,作者也回歸過去探究女性身份脆弱性的歷史與社會根源。

With the creation of Aura, Fuentes reveals a hidden reality under a feigned mask, besides showing pure wonders and fictional scenes. The work, from its original narrative perspective of the second singular person, conquers an uncertainty of both the subject narrator and the implied author; and generates several subtexts, which, from different angles, invite readers to experience human emotions as the passion, the anxiety and the incertitude. The surreal elements beautifully embedded in the text have a pronounced symbolism, which projects the writer’s vision about identities and history and, therefore, conveys the hope that the masks ported by both the individual and the collective be torn away so that they can face themselves and build a real identity. As a female I, Fuentes returns to the past in order to investigate its fragility related to the historical and social roots. Meanwhile, he creates the female profiles that disconnect the tradition.
